Monitor for new files and send an email

dbortunk · Post by **dbortunk** » Tue Jun 09, 2009 1:20 pm

Is there a way to monitor a folder tree (tree contains many subfolders) for any new or changed file and send an email for each file based on it's subfolder. Basically the new file would have to be able to go into a variable and then based on it's subfolder location send an email with that file name.

File monitor triggering event can monitor files in subfolders too. Turn on corresponding checkbox while adding the folder.
Also it can save the list of changed, deleted or added files in one file or in separated text files. Look at Save changes tab in the event editor.

I did that. It only works if i place one file in a folder. If i place three different files into the same folder or multiple folders, it only works for one file.

Send me the example of your task.

We have tested this. It's working.
